Just adding a comment box should be pretty easy since
fiatjaf (npub180c…h6w6) already did all the hard parts with nocomment, wire that into a WordPress plug-in and it’s done.
But doing just this would not be a benefit for the website author, it would lead to spam and WordPress also already supports comments itself, with moderation and anti spam plugins (that are not compatible with nostr).
The only way I could see it working is if there was some way to apply a WoT filter from the WordPress side.
Then the benefit would be that it would attract website activity from nostr users. While small now it could be big in the future and we have to start somewhere. The other way around it could grow nostr users when people see a conversation on a website and want to reply, giving them a reason to get on nostr.
Under the hood it would essentially be a nostr conversation around an URL, something similar like I described here:
I haven't read the whole article because skimming it and seeing crypto or blockchain as solutions triggered a close tab reflex for me.
But your comment about nostr features around RSS notes is interesting, and I would generalize it to nostr features or conversations around URLs.
NIP-84 (Highlights) sort of does this but it has the emphasis more on a partial blurb that someone finds interesting.
I'd like to see something where the article or URL is the "root", and then your client would show something like "Petri & 2 others have started a conversation around this article".
People would be replying to an article or page on nostr, could be within a nostr app or on the website. WordPress would just show that conversation via something like nocomment.
